The emblem consists of the intial katakana mu ム of musashi
and murayama sytlised in the shape of a dove. The central circle
symbolises peace/harmony of the citizens, the whole thing the activity of
industry and civilisation, and it expresses unlimited development/growth.
(The notice suggests that there are two katakana, one for musashi and one
for murayama, however the other webpage suggests that one character
represents both, and that's what it looks like to me.)
